A study to test the hypothesis that people's notions of ideal relations among nations correspond structurally with their notions of ideal relations among people. Homogeneous Guttman-type scales measuring 8 diff advocated goals of US foreign policy were constructed & paired a priori with homogeneous scales measuring 8 corresponding interpersonal values. These were administered by questionnaire to a random sample of a U Sbody. The matrix of interr's was analyzed according to a multitrait-multimethod model, which permits comparison of predicted is with non-predicted r's. The hypothesis was generally confirmed. In addition, the internat'I goals were found to cluster in 2 groups, interpreted as cooperative & competitive; but these clusters were not well duplicated in the matrix of interpersonal values. AA.
